Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 30: However, it was too troublesome. Six people died.
Everything that followed was filled with nightmare-like madness and despair.
Just like this nightmare world, everything that happened afterwards was a nightmare for the entire team, but for Li Lin it was just a real record that fully demonstrated the status of these righteous partners.
The mage was pierced by a spike when he was lighting the fire and died on the spot. The delicate girl was pierced by the roots in the soil without even a scream and then exploded from the inside in the blink of an eye. The splattered flesh and blood was swept away by the black mosquitoes in an instant, making the fear in everyone's heart even more obvious.
When fear has become a physical entity, everything that happens next is so clear and visible.
Death, countless deaths, all kinds of deaths began to appear one after another in this disunited team.
During a quarrel, the priest killed the druid and then fled in panic. The warrior was ambushed by an archer while giving a speech and lost one of his glasses. The archer was also shot dead by Li Lin.
The priest who had escaped returned to the team the next day, but his entire chest had been cut open. He talked and laughed with everyone as if nothing had happened. Then, in front of everyone's horrified eyes, his spine broke into pieces, and his head fell into the cavity. He smiled cross-legged like a work of art, with countless tears of blood and deworming flowing from his eyes.
Then the monstrous priest had his head pierced by the warrior himself, and was burned to death by Li Lin's holy fire.
Faced with this outcome, the warlock could no longer bear it and wanted to kill Li Lin. She was a beautiful girl and a smart girl. She thought that Li Lin was the incarnation of the god of strife or some other existence, which made their mission a complete failure.
However, her idea was good, but her action was stupid. She rashly thought that the warrior would definitely join her in killing Li Lin, but the warrior, who was already exhausted physically and mentally, had lost all judgment and just begged for help to stop fighting. During the battle, the sorceress was pierced through the abdomen by Li Lin's golden arrow, and then she was caught by the plant in the nightmare and pierced through her lower body, becoming a cross. She cursed and howled in front of the remaining people, and died of organ failure.
By now, there were only three people left.
One was a very fat girl who looked like a businessman. She was completely frightened and cried every day. The soldier who lost an eye was no longer as high-spirited as before. Instead, he suddenly looked ten years older. In just a few days, his eyes became extremely sunken. He spoke weakly, full of weakness and pleading.
Being mature doesn't mean you are really graceful or something, that's all fake. Sometimes being mature just means that you are powerless and you start to conform to the rules subconsciously.
When you no longer have the power to fight against this world and instead begin to integrate into it, that means you have matured.
And a few days are enough for this red-haired warrior to mature completely.
"Finally, I'm free..."
“…”
Seeing the businessman's relieved look, Li Lin was not surprised at all.
The glorious white knight was surrounded by countless holy lights and hymns as he quietly watched the moment when the slightly plump girl lost her life.
Li Lin did nothing, she committed suicide. And right beside him, the red-haired warrior, holding his sword as if it were his life, looked at his dead companion indifferently, as if he were looking at a stranger.
When the merchant's body was burned to ashes by Li Lin's holy fire, the red-haired warrior looked up at Li Lin with a flickering look in his eyes. The brilliant appearance of Li Lin's white knight was reflected in his dark, shriveled pupils. He seemed to be the only salvation in this nightmare world. His body was surrounded by countless lights and hymns, as if to redeem them all.
But there was nothing.
Nothing at all.
"Who are you?"
He looked at Li Lin and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Who are you? How long have you lived in this world? Who are you?"
"I am the White Knight. I have lived here a few days before you. I am an observer. I observe everything you do and decide the fate of this place."
"Really? I can feel that as we die one by one, your body becomes more and more solidified. So you are our death? Are you our strife? Now that you are our nightmare in the nightmare, are you satisfied?"
“Not even close.”
"Then now you are done."
The red-haired soldier smiled at Li Lin and then closed his eyes.
The originally rosy face gradually turned pale and cold, and the breath had stopped.
Almost at the same time, the insects that had been secretly devouring the bodies of the righteous messengers swarmed over and began to frantically gnaw at the remains of the red-haired warrior. Now there were no witnesses, so there was no need to use the pale holy light as a disguise.
They revealed their true forms one after another and pounced on the corpse, gradually adding the last bit of strength to Li Lin's mark.
"…'The First Seal' is complete."
You're a great guy, but we're not right.
Looking at the red-haired warrior who had closed his eyes and was about to die, Li Lin shrugged and walked out of the forest.
Tens of minutes later, in a distant magic city, nine children opened their eyes at the same time, as if they had had a nightmare. One of the tattooed boys spat after waking up and said loudly:
"Fuck, my death was so miserable... I fell into a mud pit and pulled myself out and fell to my death. What the hell? Hey, I still have memories? This is so fucking embarrassing. You guys have memories too, right? You almost forgot! You almost forgot! Otherwise, don't blame me for being angry... What's wrong with you?"
“…”
"ha……"
"Hahaha……"
The remaining eight children looked woodenly at the barbarian with a face full of shame and anger, and as if they were broken, they began to laugh with their heads down.
The laughter was not something that children of this age could make. It was full of weirdness and sorrow. The team that was once close to each other completely lost trust in each other. Everyone looked at each other and laughed crazily. Dark lines gradually covered their bodies, and wisps of blue-black aura seeped out of their foreheads.
The guards were shocked when they saw the appearance of these children and immediately initiated emergency measures. After multiple adjustments, it was determined that except for the barbarians at the beginning, all the children were corrupted by an inexplicable force.
It was not a force of justice or evil, but the ugliness that grew out of people's hearts. After searching their memories, that brilliant shadow also appeared in everyone's records.
However, we cannot judge whether his behavior is evil or not, nor can we be sure whether he is the culprit.
Therefore, after the decision of all parties, a small file appeared in the dangerous person record form.
'White Knight: The first sighting was recorded in the nightmare world. It represents conflict. Wherever it passes, everyone is suspected to be infected by an unknown force, falling into a state of conflict and distrust, and finally killing each other, with no loyalty in their hearts.'
